Collection and locality
The database gives the locality as DURBAN DIST.; EDITH BENSON CRESCEN; EXP. PLOTS, the string cut off at CRESCEN. Edith Benson Crescent runs inside the Durban Botanic Gardens, and the experimental plots were the garden's own. PRE stores its older localities in upper case, with the parts separated by semicolons. The locality field carries the place in ordinary case; the article quotes the string as the database holds it.[1]
